About This Podcast
Epirus is a historical and geographical region in Northwestern Greece. A spectacular European secret of natural beauty, storied history and stoic people. Follow me as I venture through this land that has, for so long, been mostly hidden from the rest of the world. This is my love letter to a region that has stolen my heart, a document of its people and their passions, their pride in the community, and their hopes for the future. But more than that, it is also a journey of self-discovery, as I get to know a place, I hope to one day call home. This is Epirus Falls.
